Beginning Oil Painting: Still Life
Willem van Osnabrugge
All supplies included
Tue-Fri, Nov 11, 12, 13, and 14, 2025
1 – 4 pm
Members $225, Nonmembers $270
Medium: Oil Paint
Beginner skill level
Have you always wanted to learn oil painting but thought it was too complex and complicated? Paint from life or photos? Sunlight or overcast? Cotton or linen canvas? Soft or hard, round or flat brushes? Refined or unrefined linseed oil? Fat over lean? Do you need a dozen expensive color tubes, or double that for all the gradations and different tones? Do oil paintings really take a year to dry? Which toxic solvents to use? Well, worry no more.
We’ll paint a still life, but the technique can also be used for portraits and landscapes. You will proudly take your first masterpiece home. You’ll also receive digital documents with extensive notes, explanations, color graphs, and precise methods learned in the course.
You will discover how to:
Easily transfer your design (from real life or photo) onto the canvas at any size
Understand value, tone, and chroma, and how to easily apply them
Create any color and shade from just five colors (yes, 5 only)
No toxic solvents for thinning paint.
No need to buy or bring anything for this workshop
Space is limited
